    Nice looking mandolins avaldes. And no, this forum is not just for builders. It is for photos of anyone's mandolins and related instruments or bands, etc.

    Those are the two styles of mandolins I have chosen as well. I bought the tater bug at a flea market for $75. I thought it was going to just be a wall hanger, who knew it sounded so great. Right now I'm playing it daily. Had it for about 20 years. I'm waiting on my most recent purchase, a Stelling S5 being built by a luthier on this forum. May just get it by the months end. Fingers crossed for now.
